The legendary cricketer is the brand ambassador for the French auto giant in India
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was recently spotted in his Citroen Basalt Dark Edition. He is one of the most successful and popular cricketers in the country. I don’t need to reiterate how many fans follow him. This is particularly true for Chennai because he has been playing IPL for the Chennai Super Kings since the beginning. He loves to splurge on ostentatious automobiles and motorcycles. However, we know that he is extremely humble, which also reflects in his actions. For now, let us take a look at the details of his latest car.
MS Dhoni Seen In His Citroen Basalt Dark Edition
We are able to glance at the specifics of this case courtesy of Raftaar7811 on YouTube. The visuals capture MS Dhoni outside his house in Ranchi in his Citroen Basalt Dark Edition. This is the first time we are witnessing him with this vehicle. As soon as he exits the gate of his home, someone records the video. Being the down-to-earth guy that Dhoni is, he briefly waves at the cameraman and acknowledges him. Thereafter, he takes a left turn to join the highway and drives away.
Citroen Basalt Dark Edition
The Citroen Basalt Dark Edition comes with a sporty exterior. The main highlights include black treatment on the Chevron logo at the front, along with red inserts on the sides of the fog lamps, with a rugged contrasting scuff plate, Dark Edition badge on the door panels and a red highlight on the C-pillar and more. On the inside, it offers a black dashboard, seats and door panel with red inserts at various places, including on the seats and stitching fabric, and the seats get Dark Edition lettering engraved. Apart from that, it carries tons of new-age amenities to pamper the occupants.
Specs and Price
The Citroen Basalt is based on the heavily localized CMP architecture, which also underpins other Citroen models. It is available with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine, which is good for 110 PS and 205 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. This mill pairs with a 6-speed manual as well as a 6-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. In India, the prices range from Rs 9.67 lakh to Rs 16.58 lakh, ex-showroom. This makes it an enticing proposition for a whole bunch of potential buyers.
